Panko crusted fish tacos, with a Chipotle-Lime Mayo and Chipotle Spiced Corn….sheer yumminess.
I’m not sure I could compare the halibut I received to any I have had before. It was a beautiful 2- pound fillet, perfect for making into fish tacos. I have always loved halibut, the texture is just right, and it has a sweet mild flavor, which makes it perfect for a family meal. No complaints of a fishy taste from the munchkins.
Eating seafood from a sustainable source is also something we should all be practicing. Alaskan seafood is some of the most sustainable fish in the world, ensuring continued healthy fish for generations to come.
I sliced my halibut fillet into fairly even pieces, breaded them and pan fried them. This size works perfect in a soft taco shell and these also double as a fish stick if you have little ones who are not fond of tacos.
Dinner comes together so easily when you have amazing food to work with, wouldn’t you agree? Thank you Alaska Seafood for the halibut, it was amazing!
It’s so easy to eat WAY too many of these…so delish!
